The Haunted St. Augustine Lighthouse

1 hour 13 minutes

Haunted St. Augustine Lighthouse | Paranormal Podcast

For our 300th episode, we took a deep dive into one of America's most storied haunted locations — the St. Augustine Lighthouse in Florida, a 165-foot spiral-striped beacon that's been racking up ghost sightings, mysterious deaths, and paranormal encounters since the 1500s.

We walked through centuries of wild history, from Spanish colonists and pirate-infested waters to a keeper who literally fell to his death mid-paint job and a heartbreaking 1873 tragedy involving four young girls that still echoes through the lighthouse's 219 steps to this day.

Between the cigar-smoking spirits, the playful child ghosts tying shoelaces to staircases, a keeper who straight-up abandoned his post and never looked back, and a TAPS investigation that left even the pros shook — this place has all the ingredients for a legitimately haunted location.

We also kicked things off with some breaking local Bigfoot news that had us questioning what exactly is lurking in our own backyard, because apparently the cryptids aren't waiting for us to come find them.
